COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONSince 2001, contract-brewed for Pabst Brewing (San Antonio), as Pabst no longer owns a brewery of its own. Piels introduction of Real Draft in cans was a milestone in brewing history. Today’s Draft Style still offers that same unsurpassed tap beer flavor. Brewed by "Piels Bros. Brewing" - a pseudonym for Pabst.

Piels Draft Style Beer has a thick, white head and a very clear straw color. It’s quite bubbly, and should appeal to those who enjoy a highly carbonated beer. The aroma and taste are stereotypical American style lager, meaning it’s good, but commonplace. Mouth-fee is light and watery. Piels finishes crisp and satisfying. Overall, I really enjoy this beer, which is expected, considering this is a favorite style of beer for me.
I drank this poured from a 16 oz. can. I bought it in Trevose, Penn. in June, 2010. It is not sold in Louisiana.

Rating 14- This brew brings back memories for me of drinking with my uncles when i was still in high school, so it has a place for me. I actually like the taste of it to a certain extent but can only handle so many of them before I either fill up from the excessive carbonation or just get sick of the taste of it. This beer has its place, but its definitely not something everyone would enjoy.

From the 355 ml can marked SEP2809-E05070942. It pours pale yellow with lively carbonation and a quarter inch white head. The aroma has a note of malts, grass, and a faint hint of hops. The mouthfeel is on the thin side but not unexpected. The taste combines grains and touch of cool hops and cleanliness. It would be easy to pound a few of these down in an afternoon. I bought this can on September 28, 2009 so I do not know if the marked date is an expiration date or not but it certainly had a crisp, freshness about it, which made it likeable. Maybe it is that draft-tap effect. I am going to rate it a bit higher than my predecessors.
